Contemporary investigations regard creativity as a dynamic form of cognition that involves movement between the dissociable stages of creative generation and creative evaluation. Our recently proposed Dynamic Framework of Thought (Christoff et al., 2016) offered a conceptualization of these stages in terms of an interplay between sources of constraint and variability on thought. This initial conceptualization, however, has yet to be fully explicated and given targeted discussion. Here, we refine this framework's account of creativity by highlighting the dynamic nature of creative thought, both within and between the stages of creative generation and evaluation. In particular, we emphasize that creative generation in particular is best regarded as a product of multiple, varying mental states, rather than being a singular mental state in and of itself. We also propose that the psychedelic state is a mental state with high potential for facilitating creative generation and update the Dynamic Framework of Thought to incorporate this state. This paper seeks to highlight the dynamic nature of the neurocognitive processes underlying creative thinking and to draw attention to the potential utility of psychedelic substances as experimental tools in the neuroscience of creativity.

更新思维的动态框架：创造力和迷幻药

当代研究将创造力视为一种动态的认知形式，涉及在创造性产生和创造性评估的可分离阶段之间的运动。我们最近提出的动态思想框架（Christoff 等人，2016 年）根据约束来源和思想可变性之间的相互作用提供了这些阶段的概念化。然而，这个最初的概念还没有得到充分的解释和有针对性的讨论。在这里，我们通过突出创意产生和评估阶段内部和之间的创造性思维的动态性质来完善这个框架对创造力的解释。我们特别强调，特别是创造性的一代最好被视为多种不同心理状态的产物，而不是本身就是一种单一的精神状态。我们还提出，迷幻状态是一种具有促进创造性产生和更新动态思维框架以纳入这种状态的潜力的精神状态。本文旨在强调创造性思维背后的神经认知过程的动态性质，并引起人们对迷幻物质作为创造力神经科学实验工具的潜在效用的关注。
